Line Drawn In The Sand Poem by Ima Ryma

'To draw a line in the sand' be
Remembered in the Alamo,
A battle lost to destiny
By Texans in a valiant show.
Colonel Travis did draw a line
In the sand and did tell his men
That any wishing could decline,
But crossing over would begin
Their final battle to defend
Against the enemy this place,
To fight until the very end
The fate for honor each would face.

Texan heroes crossed line in sand
To die in Alamo's last stand.
